Considered Damaged Medan Merdeka Square, Residents Sued Bobby Nasution

Considered Damaged Medan Merdeka Square, Residents Sued Bobby Nasution A group of people from the Medan-North Sumatra Civil Society Coalition (KMS) filed a citizen lawsuit against Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution.  They asked for the Merdeka Square revitalization policy to be stopped, because they were considered to have damaged cultural heritage.  KMS's lawyer, Redyanto Sidi, believes that so far the revitalization has only been used as an excuse for the Medan City Government (Pemkot) in carrying out multi-year construction work.  One of them is making underground parking lots and commercial areas.  "There is work on the foundation by punching a hole in Merdeka Square as deep as 6 to 8 meters, as conveyed by the Head of Housing for Residential Areas and Government Buildings of the Perkim Office of Medan City for 2022 the contract is Rp. 91 billion with the work of digging the ground in 6meters for the basement from the plan of around eight meters," said Redyanto in
